Bayonetta PS3 spotted with framerate issues

Reports are coming in that Platinum Games and Sega‘s Bayonetta (PS3 and Xbox 360) is running smoothly where it’s supposed to run — except on the PS3. At a recent demo held in Shinjuku Yodobashi, Japan, the game did not slice through the event as cleanly as expected.

Reports are coming in that Platinum Games and Sega‘s Bayonetta (PS3 and Xbox 360) is running smoothly where it’s supposed to run — except on the PS3. At a recent demo held in Shinjuku Yodobashi, Japan, the game did not slice through the event as cleanly as expected.

A gamer allegedly observed that “The PS3 version has consistent framerate issues. It’s just not as silky smooth as the 360 version.” It would probably be easier to pass this statement up as one that’s been made by an Xbox 360 fanboy, but several other outlets like Kotaku who test-drove the game also came to the same conclusion: there does appear to be some lag on the PS3 version visuals.

Bayonetta won’t be out till January 2010 for North America and Europe, however. Maybe Sega can provide for a much-needed fix before then? Japan will probably have to get it via patch since it’s out in their territory at the end of this month, though.
